Am I dumb or doesn't such a time even exist?

As we are using 24hour formats in germany I am not that familiar with 12hour fomats, but shouldn't it be
00:00-11:59 (24h) = 00:00-11:59 AM (12h)
12:00-23:59 (24h) = 00:00-11:59 PM (12h)
?

12 hour time formats do not include 0:00. It goes from 12:59 to 1:00. ;)

?Hi Kirby - The first 12 hours of a day are AM. The second 12 hours are PM.

00:00-11:59 (24h) = 12:00AM-11:59 AM (12h)
12:00-23:59 (24h) = 12:00PM-11:59 PM (12h)

So 13:00 = 1:00PM

Conclusion:
12h formats are strange ;)

:D Yes, they are. It gets real confusing going from 24h format to 12h. Even more confusing for me is going from kph to mph with speed in my Opel Senator. :eek:
BTW, It is 1:25pm (13:25) here in Massachusetts, U.S.
